KCC has a statutory duty to administer the
ENCTS to provide free off-peak local bus travel for the elderly and
disabled. Three back office contracts are essential to administer
the scheme; a Smart Customer Record Management system, a Card
Production Bureau and a HOPS Smart Ticketing Management System
(which records journeys made by Smart tickets). The contracts for
all of which expire at the end of March 2012. A procurement
exercise is being undertaken and a final decision needs to be made
to award replacement contracts.
